In order for the Network Service Providers (NSPs) to provide end-toend Quality of Service (QoS) at the inter-domain level different coordination models have been proposed by ETICS project. In this work we present and analyze the plausible alternatives of those models and we compare them with each other in terms of information asymmetry issues. We show that different information sets affect the ...
